wrong way to install pump eccentric?

I didn't know there was a wrong to install the eccentric? There are two parts to it, the outer ring just sits around the center part. The assembly goes over the cam sprocket, I put the tab in the space there was left in the sprocket pin hole. Maybe the older cam sprocket has a hole specific to the eccentric tab, I didn't have an old engine to look at at the time.

Did you check to see if the eccentric was tight and not moving by itself? What you could do is turn the engine by hand while holding the fuel pump in position to see if you can feel the eccentric pushing onto the lever.

Maybe it's just the fuel pump? Did you check to see if the fuel line is working fine? Gas in the tank? Converting to electric is pretty easy if you get real fed up...

Depends on which eccentric you have and need. If the cam dowel sticks to far out, you need the earlier style with the round hole. With the engine cranking you should be able to put your finger over the inlet and feel suction.
You did hook up the lines to th right sides.. right?

Oh yeah, what car is this? Doesnt have an in-tank pump too, I hope..
